Amy Meyer Life Timeline

By AmesW8

  • I was born!

    According to my mom, I was almost born in the car on the way to the hospital-- talk about an entrance!

  • My First Team Sport

    I started playing field hockey in 5th grade to run off some of my excess energy.

  • First Ever Standardized Test

    I remember being very nervous to take the PSATs my sophomore year of high school; but I ended up doing very well! I even did better than most of my friends.

  • Driver's License? CHECK!

    I received my driver's license after my first try! I lost all the possible "points" you were allowed, but still passed.

  • High School Graduation

    I graduated from Middletown High School in Frederick County, MD as a member of the National Honor Society. Our ceremony was at (what was then) Knott Arena at Mount St. Mary's.

  • First Day of College

    I started my freshman year at Salisbury University in the Fall of 2001. I was still 17 at the time, and had to have my Dad cosign my Hollywood Video rental card. My major at the time was Chemistry.

  • Change in Major

    I changed my major from Chemistry to Sociology after a few bad Calculus classes. I ended up majoring in Sociology the remainder of my time at SU, and loved every minute!

  • College Graduation

    I graduated Salisbury University with my B.A. in Sociology with a Gender Studies minor. At the time, I wanted to teach Sexual Education and Gender Studies to high school or college students.

  • The First Job I Loved

    I started working for Barnes & Noble Booksellers in 2007, and didn't know what I was missing until I was there. I worked there for 6 years, and loved being able to recommend books to children and their parents. It was at this job that I met some of my greatest friends, and found my passion.

  • The Man of My Dreams

    I met my husband while working at Barnes & Noble. I didn't know then how he would be in my life, just that he would be there forever. We have been together for 5 years now, and we were married this past Fall.
